Donovan Wilson injured

[HungryLion]

Who needs camp? AmIright?

That sneaky Donovan. Just happens to sustain an injury to miss all of camp and be ready by week 1. How convenient for him.

This is the thing I hate about football.

You make all these plans....thru the draft...thru free agency....to painstakingly construct a roster using your team building philosophy, and it's usually a 2 or 3 year plan

Then boom. A starter gets hurt....and all ur plans are in the toilet. And this won't be the only starter we lose. Happens to every team.

I know..."injuries happen" but this is the part of the game that makes me throw my hands up and want to invest my time into something I have control over.

And I hate injuries on ANY team. Like....I kinda dislike Aaron Rogers....but if he were to get seriously hurt tomorrow I would be bummed, because it would ruin one of the interesting story lines of the season.

Booooooo

If a twenty something middle of the road football player getting injured hurts your feelings and makes you question if you need something other than football in your life,,,, you need something other than football in your life.

Typical Cowboys injury.

Today.... Calf strain
Tomorrow...season ending injury.

You guys seriously need help…

You need to eat more fiber and green vegetables lol

I do, but you remember those once in a lifetime lightning strikes.

Cursed Cowboys position.

From position of strength to concern after 1 shorts TC session.

 

[J_Allen]

It will work out because it will give someone the opportunity to step up and earn a spot.

People have seem to forgot that Donovan Wilson was legit one of the best players on our defense last year.

That's fact.

 

[CouchCoach]

Calves can be nothing or everything.

A well-turned calf can be inviting but I am a butt and thigh man.

 

[DFWJC]

Extend someone and they go soft. Doesn't bode well for Diggs, although its hard to see how he could get any softer.

And yes, I am joking. Sort of.....

Cowboys say calf strain then I say bull chips.

I think it makes it more interesting.

The human body wasn't meant to play 17 games of football. Not in the least.

Attrition is a HUGE part of the game, and managing the inevitabilities of it separate the good teams from the bad.

(Rotowire) Wilson (calf) is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to the calf strain he suffered in practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys are optimistic that Wilson will be available for the Sept. 10 season opener against the Giants, which is just over six weeks away. Wilson -- who re-signed on a three-year deal worth up to $24 million this offseason -- was carted off Wednesday. He led the team with 101 tackles in 2022.

With the expanded rosters and PS/IR, they actually have addressed it with ability to retain depth/prospects.
I hate the injuries as well, but with that being said, the roster expansions now allow a talented drafting dept to take advantage and stack a bit.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Carted off, I'd say its torn tbfh

Nope.

 

[Typhus]

Bunch of you panic about our deepest position on roster getting bumped with a few setbacks early in camp.

 

[plasticman]

It looks like it's the safety squad that is getting hit this preseason. First it was Malik Hooker, now Wilson. Izzy could have noved back to safety temporarily, but he is hurt too.

The good news is that safety is one of the deepest squads on the team.

I hope that Markquise Bell understands the opportunity here. He may never get a better chance to make his move.

I know what’ll happen…Sept. 5th or 6th they’ll say he won’t be ready 9/10. He’ll play a few snaps 9/17, but won’t impact the game. 9/24, “not quite back back to normal”. 9/31, more snaps, but minimal impact. He’ll help in October, but likely someone else impactful will be out. The team is NEVER 100%, and Dallashaters gloat.

As much as I'd love to watch Dallas play a 52 week season, the NFL will try and milk every ounce out of the players. International is the next step to weaken it.
